Alaska man fatally shot by police after pointing gun at them
Anchorage police officers responding to a disturbance call shot and killed a man early Monday after he pointed a gun at them, police chief Bianca Cross said.
“Four officers discharged their weapons, striking the adult male once in the upper body, at least once in the upper body,” Cross said at a news conference.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, an apartment complex in west Anchorage. No officers were injured.

Officers approached the complex on foot, and officers fired after the man raised the gun toward them, Cross said.
The shooting was captured on the officers’ body cameras, which will be released following the investigation, she said.
Cross didn’t provide other details of the incident, citing the ongoing investigation.
The state’s Office of Special Prosecutions will determine if the officers’ use of deadly force was justified. Following that investigation, the police department’s internal affairs unit will investigate to determine if there were any policy violations in the shooting.
The four officers involved were placed on four days of paid administrative leave. Their names will be released three days after the shooting.
The name of the man who was killed will be released after next-of-kin are notified, Cross said.

UTAH, April 30, 2026 (Gephardt Daily) — The Utah Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division has revealed that one turkey hunter was shot by another during opening weekend of the hunting season.
“Opening weekend should be about the thrill of the hunt and the quiet of the woods,” the news release says. “Instead, it served as a harrowing reminder of how quickly a mistake can turn a hunt into a tragedy.
“During the opening of the limited-entry turkey season, a hunter was shot and required emergency medical treatment. The victim was positioned in vegetation behind their decoys. Another hunter, spotting the decoys, stalked in and fired—hitting the hunter concealed behind them.”
Unlike most big game seasons, turkey hunting does not require hunters to wear blaze orange, the release says.
“This makes visual identification your #1 responsibility. ‘I think it’s a bird’” isn’t good enough. You must positively identify the beard and the bird.
“Every round has a destination. If your target is in thick brush or near decoys, be aware of the ‘blind spots’ behind them.”
If you hear a gobble or see movement, wait, the statement says.
“Never fire at a flash of color or a movement in the brush. If you see another hunter approaching your setup, do not move. Speak up in a loud, clear voice to announce your location.
“The goal is to bring home a bird, but the priority is making sure everyone makes it home for dinner. Stay sharp, stay visible when moving, and always—always—confirm your shot.”
No additional information was released about the location of the shooting or the condition of the hunter hit.
